Question:

This graphics card doesn't need power cables right?

Hello, i have a quick question, this card doesn't need PCI cables right?My power supply is 450 wattNVIDIA GTX 750 TI is the cardThank you

Answer:

Check your exact model 750 Ti. Some don't require a 6-pin connector while some do.
My GTX 750 Ti OC 2GB card does not need cables--all power goes through the motherboard to it.
It does need power cables. Your PSU should come with them. That's all the cables it needs.
it depends on which 750ti you buy some dont need power some do but if you have a 450w psu then you should have a 6pin pcie on it anyway
Some 750ti's need more power, some don't - you have to check the card itself. Here's so helpful info - Computers are built with a power supply just barely able to power them as they are. A video card of any kind requires an upgrade of the power supply. If you don't upgrade the power supply, very nasty things can happen (I found this out the hard way! :O). Even the video cards that don't have extra power connections can draw up to 75 watts from the motherboard - that power has to come from somewhere! :D I recommend 750 watts, major name brand, semi-modular or full modular, 80+ rated, single 12 volt rail, active PFC, and so on. It's always best to have more power than you need. Power supplies are happiest running below their maximum, and they live much longer lives. You don't want to have to buy a whole new power supply in a few years just because you skimped today, do you? :O You MUST buy a power supply to feed your system plus video card! :) REMEMBER - Even the video cards that don't have extra power connections can draw up to 75 watts from the motherboard!! :O ~Helpful ~Cindy! :)
